    post-only/postonly for the postonly account

At the first log in it will show some precautions that be made before using GLPI further.

First you above to change the default users passwords for security reasons. To do that. Go to Administration -> Users -> glpi and input your new password in the password column.

And also you have to remove the install/install.php file for security reasons.

# rm -fr /var/www/html/glpi/install/install.php

If you made any mistakes or just forgot the password for the administrative account, you can re-run the above setup by deleting the following config/config.php file.

After completing your installation change the permission of the config/config_db.php file to avoid any misconfiguration by users.

# chmod 400 /var/www/html/glpi/config/config_db.php


Now start using GLPI asset management system by navigating to http://ip-address/glpi.
